Founded 13 years
ago, the
British Chamber of Commerce Riviera
(BCC Riviera) is now one of the most important business
associations on the Riviera with a membership of over 100
business professionals. Over the past year, the Presidency has
passed from
Mike Lorimer, who did much to develop the BCC
Riviera, to
Ab Kuijer
who continues to internationalise and
evolve its activities. In this video report we look back at the
past landmark year for the BCC Riviera and the 2008 edition of
the
Riviera Business Person of the Year
with special guest
Henk Potts
of Barclays Wealth & winner Hiro
Iiazawa of
Les Domaines de St Endreol.

BCC Riviera Goes International
BCC
Riviera 01 Feb 10
The BCC Riviera has a new look for the new year with
a name change. It will now be known as the Riviera
Business Club - the network for international
business people. Whilst the organisation will still
be backed by the BCC, it is felt that the new name
would better reflect the growing international
composition of the club's membership - and help to
broaden its reach. Speaking at the recent AGM, Ab
Kuijer, BCC President explained, "We'd like the
organisation to be 'nationality neutral', to
encourage business people from all parts of the
world to join."
